Pros

Reasonable benefits package for full-time employees.

Cons

As a member of the Customer Care team in BBCC, the level of respect and dignity is lacking severely. The customer care division (BBCC) is treated as less than compared to the rest of the corporate office. This includes any need or requirement for updated hardware or software. The log in process alone for BBCC employees is inefficient and a waste of company time. Another thing to note is that Best Buy’s new Universal Workforce methodology removes any direct specialized agents. Agents are expected to be pulled into random projects outside of their original training. When pulled into these projects in the past year, there has been minimal effort to provide comprehensive training to help the agents affected. In short, if you apply to be a Customer Care Specialist, you will be a universal worker across social media, inbound and outbound calls. Leadership, when met with inefficient processes, are not willing to improve them to make the employee experience better. In actuality, there is little work done to improve the employee experience on the BBCC teams. With respect to the Universal Workforce, agents doing additional work this past year have NOT been compensated for that additional work outside of their job description. Even worse, we have not received a yearly raise that meets the era of inflation we are experiencing. We received a 3% raise, which in the current US economy, this is a pay cut. We should be receiving compensation for additional work performed and to meet the moment of inflation. It is insulting otherwise.

Pros

Learn a lot on the job. Great place to entry level in tech. Geek squad has a lot of independence from the store when I was there.

Cons

Proper scheduling. If people call out they do not try to fill role they simply expect you to do more. Rotating schedule, Your on and off days will change week to week.

Pros

No Need to sell or deal with customers (Much) Constantly moving so you always have a task to do Management leaves you to your own devices Almost all warehouse employees have a set of headphone

Cons

Everyone (Cust & employees) Expect an encyclopedic knowledge on where every single item is. Management seems to think we can lift a 85" tv, pull a washer off the top shelf, stock gaming shelves, and handle store pick up at the same moment. Customers think we don't want to help them when we call someone else to help with sales There's almost too much to do and even though we may have 1-3 employees working at a time, 1 is at the door, 1 is behind store pick up, which leaves 1 employee to handle new orders, deliveries, and down stocking.
